On the regular route

Rodent control in Boulder.

Boulder is a regular stop on the route from Milliken.

The work runs from big lots and small ranches in North Boulder to lawns and gardens in Table Mesa and Martin Acres.

The city sits right against open grassland.

There are prairie dog colonies on the plains east of town, and plenty of yards and pastures end up next door to one.

One of the reviews on Google comes from a 40-acre ranch in North Boulder that saw more prairie dogs in a drought year.

After the treatment, they had not seen a single one since.

The City of Boulder has its own rules for prairie dogs on some property.

Boulder County manages colonies on its open space. Mention the address when you call so the plan fits the land.

The PERC® method

Every tunnel, in seconds.

PERC® stands for Pressurized Exhaust Rodent Control.

Instead of a bait on the surface or a trap at one hole, the treatment goes down the burrow and through it.

How the PERC® method treats a burrow Cross-section of a prairie dog burrow. A probe from the rig goes into one entrance. Pressurized gas flows down through the connected tunnels to the nest chamber, a side chamber and the other entrances. 1 2 3 PROBE IN THE ENTRANCE NEST CHAMBER OTHER ENTRANCES

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.

We loved working with Richard!

I manage a 40 acre ranch in North Boulder and we noticed an increase in prairie dog activity this year with the drought, we reached out to Rodent Ranger to help us and he did a great job, we haven’t noticed a single prairie dog since.

Richard was communicated, professional, and educational. Would 100% work with him again and refer to others.
